Those italions sound amazing...LSx's sound good no doubt..But lets be realistic here..

The reality even if lets say a LS1 vette sounds amazeing ( know mine did does it really mean anything..You here LS1's rev all the time...

On the other hand you will hardly EVER hear these exotic cars rev.....Ive seen a few Lambos/ferraris on the road in my life..And im thinking 1/2 of them were rentals..

It is a differant sound..More like music in my opinion.....My viper really sounds like a pissed off UPS truck...To some people that is horrible..But to me it sounds pretty mean and you know when a viper is coming...

I couldnt even here the Z06 in that vid..The singing from the Lambo just made the grunt of the LS7 invisable..

Also the Z06 looked like a boreing nothing in the vid next to the lambo..It was fast..But that was about it IMHO

Surprise, I disagree . Killemall, I'd like to see a video of that NSX accelerating so we can hear the intake/exhaust combination from outside of the car. Got any of those?

I'll keep my opinion of sound to myself since it's purely subjective but race with any of these exotics on the track and you can't help but develop an appreication for them. They truly are amazing machines.

Me either. I can proudly say I am one of the few here, maybe 20 or less regulars, who don't see everything through the GM blue brand loyal glasses. For most, its LSX/GM > everything, bar none.

The first Vipers didn't have exhaust crossovers, so they sounded like two Volvos that were angry with each other

"This video is not available in your country" SUCKS

I think Lamborghinis sound good, but their too high-pitched for my taste. I'll take a SBC, AMG 6.2 (that thing sounds good!) or a BMW V8 over it..

I find it ironic you point out this comparison when you don't even own a car considered a performance car yourself. While I'd prefer a Lambo over a Vette, I'm also a realist.

Yep, and I wasn't impressed either time. Still thought it was an overpriced lawn mower Honda

LT1 F-bodies are slow...

As stated previously, bolded question cannot be asked if you yourself do not even own a performance car at all.

Do you ever stop bench racing?
